Well, due to a ticketing snafu, still here tonight, had to reschedual for leaving tomorrow morning.
Drydock, I don't want to have a bunch of bullet holes in the office, maybe better just get the key from Cpt Little.
Trailrider: Won't be going to Mindanau or the other southern islands, wife's family is from central islands , Cebu and Bohol, no muslim problems there.There are some of the Communist rebels(NPA, or New Philippines Army) but kidnapping foriegners isn't their thing, as it is with the Abu Sayef (the muslim group).
Guns: I hope to get to Corregidore sometime, but since we won't be flying through Manila, probably won't happen this trip. We looked it to it on a previous trip, but the only way we couuld find to get there was through a local travel agent, paying "tourist trap" prices. Someday perhaps we'll try the way you did. Never been on one of those motor bancas before, they sail those silly things EVERYWHERE though. Always reading in the papers when we are there how they get capsized when a big wave breaks off the outrigger. The outriggers are just a couple of large bamboo poles for the beams, with a bundle of bamboo for the actual outrigger float.
